Comparison of two nested PCR methods for the detection of human malaria by Anthony, C., Mahmud, R., Lau, Y.L., Syedomar, S.F., Ponnampalavanar, S.S.L.S.

“…The present study aimed to compare the accuracy of two different set of primers targeting the small subunit ribosomal RNA (ssRNA) and the dihydrofolate reductase-thymidylate synthase linker region (dhfr-ts) in detecting species specific malaria infections by nested PCR. The sensitivity and specificity of nested PCR assay using the two primers were calculated with reference to microscopy as the gold standard. …”
